Marie,
We settled on the Apple iPad for a number of reasons. -it is a least common denominator platform in that all the other ebookstores have apps on the iPad so it can access all the silos. -it is the most versatile reader since it is a full computing platform-it has the best permissions for libraries (you cannot use Kindles in libraries)-iBooks will also run on the iPod Touch later this month with iOS4 release Happy to talk further about this or even come share, but I am at ALA on the 24th. I can loan you an iPad and a Sony e-ink reader if you need them to review on 24th.

Does it cost to download the Kobo app?
Can hook-up iPad to display?
